FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Circular Saw Kit, 7-1/4-Inch, Worm Style, 9.0Ah Battery (DCS577X1)

Love this saw... Finally free of the cord. plenty of torque for most cutting. one issue... I bought the left-hand side blade to try it out. be warned you're going to want to wear a face shield the chips come right at you. that said it is nicer to be able to see the cutting line from the left side. I won't be throwing away my corded worm drive yet, but this is a really nice saw for the convince of no cord.

This saw is an absolute game changer. No if and or what about it. I am a contractor with over 15yrs operating tools. I was on the fence of spending so much money. The second I used this tool I was grinning ear to ear. I cut an entry wood slab door that was 2” thick and this saw literally ripped through the wood like it was butter. I do not know the longevity of the battery yet. I will update in the future. But as of now. This saw made me want to come home and write a great review. Absolute beast of a saw. Admittedly it is very heavy. But I will tell you what. You will feel like a mans man when you are gripping this sucker.

I don't usually like to give 5 stars, nothing is perfect, but this saw, WOW! I started by cutting some plywood in sheets to frame out a doorway. This thing ate through the wood like a fat kid after m&ms. This thing has some serious power and stops on a dime so you can set it down right when you're done cutting to move on to your next task. I have cut through 2x4s, 4x4s, and 2x6s just to see how powerful this saw is.. It's like if The Hulk could weild Thor's hammer. The fact there's no cord is my favorite part. I use a circular saw a lot, and the cord was always an issue. No more will cords tie me down.. Pun intended. I can't wait to use this out and about and not have to worry about finding a source of power. The only con I'd say would be the weight, other than that, stop reading this and go buy it! *not a paid review*

Buen trabajo

I can only echo the other comments here in that this saw is excellent. High quality, long battery life, plenty of power, etc. I built a large deck this past summer and used this saw all day long without needing to recharge. When it was time for a charge, the included charger took care of the job nice and quick. The only negative is the heavier than average weight as others have said but I'm a big guy and this was really no problem for me. You have to expect that the heavy-duty components of this saw plus the very large battery are going to weigh more than the average saw.

Been working a week with this saw, framing a house. It's not an actual wormdrive, it's direct drive. I previously owned (it got stolen) the dewalt corded worm drive, and i'd say in terms of power and weight they are comparable. I also own the Dewalt 60v sidewinder circular saw - i think they are about equal in power. the sidewinder is a little lighter, but the "wormdrive" is much more balanced. easy to swing around one handed, and make accurate cuts. the shoe is beefy, and the bevel has positive detents at 22.5 and 45 degrees. very precises degree measurements on the bevel. i ripped a few 16' 2x's with ease on a bevel. made dozens of beveled miter cuts, cut who knows how many hundreds of 2x's. 4x of course requires two cuts, but the "wormdrive style" setup makes it easy to get those right. EDIT: there should be an bright white LED light just above the front of the blade to light up the cut-path. that would be amazing. the battery is a beast. i was "cut guy" for a day because i got me a brand new saw. the one 9aH battery lasted almost all day. ripping, beveled miters, hundreds of straight cuts, it held up. it runs fine on the 6aH batteries that come with most other 60v tools. i'll note that when the battery shows one bar, i pull it and put a fresh one in. two batteries is enough for a day. this is the best battery saw i've ever used, hands down.

I just got my third one cause the guys fight over the two we have. Is that not review enough? If not, here's more. Ditching the cord outweighs every disadvantage to a cordless by so much it's not even a question. And as high as the price seems, look at the whole picture. A good 100 foot cord will cost $70-100, an electric saw is about $200, a new end on your extension cord cause it broke will set you back $10, a new cord on the saw cause your new guy just whacked it is $20-30. We're pushing $350 plus the time to fix all that, and we haven't even started on the convenience and efficiency by not dragging a cord around. *It has plenty of power. I can stop it, but that's usually close to the point where a worm drive will kick back. *The safety gets annoying, but I think every cordless circular saw has it. *The sawdust kicks out on the left side, so if you're making a cut at about eye level, it sucks. And if you cut siding 1½" below your soffit when doing a reside, be sure to cover the sawdust hole with duct tape or something. It WILL scratch the soffit. *When you get those left-handed cuts, the motor cuts your visibility. *Cutting bevels, it has a little worse visibility than an electric worm drive. *With moderatly heavy use, the battery lasts all day, 4-5 hours with heavy use. If your blade is dull, it cuts down tremendously on run time. *Cutting stair stringers, I'll often use a corded saw over this, but if all I have is the cordless, or if I don't have any cords out already, I'll use the cordless. Just gotta switch out batteries about three quarters of the way through a standard flight. That heavy duty of cutting will run it down fast. *EDIT* Got a 4th saw, we don't even bust out a cord on framing or siding jobs anymore, except for the compressor. And yeah, you can get lighter saws, but this isn't to be compared with other battery saws or sidewinders, it's on par with corded worm drives. All the reviews that say it's too heavy are comparing it to little boys' toys :-). We even have a small left-handed teenager that loves this saw. *EDIT* It doesn't handle the rain too well. I had one that quit working, and it took out 3 batteries because I didn't realize until after the third battery what it was doing. That being said, I sent it to a factory authorized repair facility, they sent me a brand new saw and batteries. I had a store tell me DeWalt's warranty is only good for homeowners, which turned me off of DeWalt, but when I dealt with DeWalt directly, I was treated very well.
